The publication of THE SUN NEWSPAPER commenced this day at 10 minutes past Three o'clock, e c'J-• t • he ?t' WITH WHICH THE " TRUE SUN " IS NOW INCORPORATED. LONDON : THURSDAY EVENING. SEPTEMBER 6, 1838. The Corn Averages published to-day give 725. lld for the six weeks ending August 31, which reduces the duty to 2s. Bd. The weekly average is 745. sd. ; the weekly average on July 27 was 695. Id. Next week this last average will be excluded from the six weeks, and the average for the week ending September 7th will be added, and unless this average shall be b,:low 695. ld.—the average of the week to be ex cluded—the next six weeks will be 735., and the duty will be down to its minimum of Is. In these facts we see some matter for observation worthy of the attention of agriculturists. It must be observed that to bring down the averages the highest price which they can obtain for their corn can be only 695., but the average price which deter mines the importatiou duty will be above 725., thus they will be sc . !i;ig their corn at nearly 45., at least, lower than the price on which their pretended protection is founded. That fact de tnonNtrates that the. averages—even supposing no artificial means have been used to .raise them, no fictitious sales, a dozen times repeated, at high prices, have entered into the calculation—do not give the farmers that degree of protection, by several shillings per quarter, by which the lying landlords, looking only to the terms of the law, insist on rack-tenting their tenants. But the farmers must not suppose that this could be improved. To raise the average price at which corn may be imported, and so to raise the duty, is impossible ; and they will find in practice that while they are mocked with a nominal protection of 738., the price at which they sell their corn is always far below that price which determines the duty. W e should suppose that there is not at present a score of farmers throughout this wide empire, who have put 725. 11d. per quarter into their pockets for any corn they have sent to market. On this subject we insert elsewhere some observations from a Provincial Paper, which throw an additional light on the operation of the averages as they affect the farmer, and are worthy his attention. Another consideration is, that the apparent delay in carrying the averages up to the point at which the minimum duty begins, has enabled the speculators to add to the quantity of foreign corn in our ports and bonded warehouses. The farmers have, we believe, endeavoured to prevent them reaching that point at considerable sacrifices. They have hurried to market with their corn ; and, according to a Maid stone Journal, some of them have cut their wheat be fore it was ripe, and have rendered it unsaleable, ex cept at a great loss. They are, however, on such a point, no match for their opponents, and the money speculators commanding the market have made it oscillate throughout for their advantage. The Corn laws convert a wholesome and necessary trade into a gambling speculation, of which the monied classes are sure in the long-run to reap all the benefits. It will be seen by the averages that the rise has chiefly been in wheat. Barley, oats, rye, beans, and peas are at moderate prices, and high importation du ties. What the farmers do not gain on their wheat, they will not gain on their other crops ; and the fact that they have not risen proportionably to bread corn, seems to indicate that dearth will not be known, and that the wheat growers have been the victims of that speculation which is the offspring of the Corn-laws. Wheat has been accumulated in our ports and ware houses, by the hope of introducing it at a low duty, instead of bringing it gradually in to supply the markets, as the wants of the people demanded it. The landed interest contributed to the accumulation by re jecting the Bill for grinding corn in bond, and now it will all be poured in on the market at a low duty, cor responding to a much higher price of corn than the deluded farmers will obtain. The palpable result, then, of the Corn-laws is to supersede the wholesome, na tural, regular rule of supply and demand in the market, and to substitute for it the chances of the money classes pocketing a million of money, or 1,500,0001., in proportion to the quantity of foreign corn they can bring in at ls. duty per quarter. We should like to know how long the best interests of this extensive community, so full of varied employments, so liable to derangement and injury from great changes in the price of food, are to be removed from the ordinary operations of supply and demand, and remain ex posed to the chances of a lottery more tempting, more extensive, and more mischievous than ever Mr. BISH established—or than ever landowners in Parliament, when they were most smitten with a love of morality, and a tender care for the virtue of the people, thought it their duty to suppress ? In another part of our Paper will be found the re port of the first meeting held in the metropolis to pro cure the repeal of the starvation laws. Had we been informed of the intention of those who called it, we should have furnished a more extensive report to our readers. We insert an article from the Chronicle, concern ing Dr. Hoof[ and his reported dismissal from the office of Queen's Chaplain. It will suffice to put our readers fully into possession of the facts of the case, and we shall not, by any comments of ours, contri bute to hoist this little bit of Tory and Ecclesiastical quackery into undue importance. Dr. HOOK is, we believe, a brother of THEODORE HOOK, of John Bull notoriety, and seems not averse from sharing his brother's reputation. That Mr. MoßrsoN, we mean he of the gamboge pills, or Mr. CURTIS, of auricular celebrity, should ,have pa ragraphs concocted for the Journals, which prate of their whereabouts and their doings, seems quite in order, and the thing passes unnoticed for what it is worth ; but when a learned Divine adopts a similar method to attract public attention, and with a boldness far surpassing any thing known of MORI SON and Co., weaves the name of the highest Person of the realm into his scheme, all the Press treat the piece of quackery as something of pro digious importance. The Tory Journals promise to print Dr. Homes sermon, " Hear the Church ;" rich Tories run to buy it ; and no doubt the sermon and the Doctor will be the thing and the man of the day, eclipsing for a time, in certain circles, all lesser Tory lights. For our part, except thus ex pressing our contempt for the whole worthless pro ceeding, we decline to puff Dr. HOOK and his " Hear the Church" into notice. We inserted yesterday an article from the Scotsman, on Limited and Universal Suffrage, which demands a brief notice from us. The history which is there given of the change which has been effected in our Constitution, by reporting the debates in Parliament, is especially worthy of observation. It comes appro priately, we think, to strengthen the observations we made on Monday on the political influence which is or may be obtained by individuals who have no part in electing Members to the House of Com mons, or in the actual business of making the laws. It comes, therefore, appropriately to confirm our re commendation to the working classes not to rely so much on the power of making the laws to insure their own welfare, and not, therefore, to prefer the distant and doubtful ailvantage of obtaining a voice in electing Members to the House of Commons by Universal Suffrage, to the present exercise of the influence they can and do exercise over those Members in procuring a repeal of the starvation laws. It comes usefully be fore the public to prove that a great number of ele ments, more powerful than that of legislation, contri bute to the progress of society, and continually set aside the best devised laws. The change effected by the influence of reporting was in defiance of the privileges of both Houses of Parliament, and by means of the Press, which the Legislature and the lawyers have continually sought to control and suppress. It has, in spite of them, grown into power, and, as the exact organ of enlightened publie opinion, has become their master. In other words, it is an organ by which the majority of the enlight ened members of society influence the whole, and sup press all those—Peers or Princes, as it may be,—wh o stand opposed to irs progress and its welfare. But the Press is not one of our institutions ; it has no legal existence ; it, grows and extends every day ; it increases in power, in utility, and in moral grandeur ; and to us, consequently, it seems more rational in the working classes to make their opinions tell for what they are worth through the master Press, than to en deavour directly to controul the servant Legislature. Their present striving seems not only ill-timed, but comparatively inglorious. It falls far below the high object within their reach. They are lowly wooing the maid when they might have the mistress for the ask ing. They do, and might to a greater extent, influence the progress of society, but they turn from that and content themselves with seeking to have a Parliament shaped according to their own notions. In our columns of this day will be found a con densed report of certain proceedings represented as having taken place at the Half-yearly General Meet ing of the Dublin and Kilkenny Railway Company. There are numberless public meetings at which no thing is less desired than impartial publicity, and we have yet to learn that the meeting of the Dublin and Kilkenny Railway Directors was not one of those to which the only reporter usually invited is the Secre tary. At all events we heard nothing of this meeting before receiving the report of which we this day publish the substance, and for the correctness of which we do not therefore hold ourselves responsible. But, setting aside the principle of impartial publicity, so essential to public confidence, we do not find that the Directors bad much to do save to attack, in speeches not remarkable for brilliancy of wit, keenness of satire, or soundness of logic, the Se cond Report of the Irish Railway Commis sioners. We are not surprised at the outcry which has been raised against that Report by the Dublin and Kilk enny Railway speculators. There is much in it to provoke the animadversion of factious mono polists. The preference given in the Report to the interests of Ireland over those of certain knots of interested individ ua l s , d es i gnate d b y cour t es y Companies," is a startling—an alarming inno vation in Irish politics. Tried by the law of precedent, the Commissioners have been guilty of the very grave offence of disturbing the old associations in the minds of Irishmen, between the appointment of a commission and the commencement of a new, or the perpetration of an old and lucrative system of pri vate jobbing at the :expense of the country. But, having allowed the Directors of the Dublin and Kil kenny Railway Company to make a serious charge against the Report of the Commissioners, it is only fair that we should quote so much of that Report as bears directly upon the questions at issue—namely, the ad vantages or disadvantages of the Company's line, and the policy of surrendering to the control of pri vate individuals the main trunks of road connecting the capital of th e ki ngdom with the chief cities andb towns standing in an important political and social relation to it : We shall commence with the line from Dublin to Kilkenny, for the execution of which an A ct o f Parliament wasobtained during the last session. This line commences at Kilmainham near Dublin, at the distance of about two and a half m il es f rom the General' Post_ of f ice, and taking a higher level, continues for the first seven teen miles in a line nearly parallel to that adopted by us : it then diverges to the southward, and crosses the Grand Canal at Sallins, eighteen miles from Dublin; afterwards it traverses the Curragh of Kildare, then falls into the valley of the Bar row, and crosses that river at Athy; from this point it follows the right bank of the Barrow as far as Leighlinbridge, where it leaves it, and skirting the base of the hills of the Kilkenny coal district, takes a nearly north-western course to Kilke•any. Tbis line has been laid out with great judgment, and its gradients are very favourable, but we strongly object to it as the Main trunk to the south of Ireland : Ist. Asa line to Cork, it is 4 miles longer to Cahir (which is a common point) than that by Maryborough. 2dly. The communication from the City of Limerick to Dublin, by any connexion with it, excepting by a branch line diverging at a short distance from Dublin, is quite out of the question. Thus, as a trunk line to the south, we think it deficient in the most important points—the objects sought being the hest communication, consistent with economy, between the leading cities of Dublin, Cork, Limerick, Waterford, and Kilkenny. Adopting this as a principle, it becomes e vident that th e most economical line for connecting Kilkenny with Dublin will be by the branch f ro m th e M ar yb or ough Summit, wh ich, as already mentioned, is but twenty-six and a half miles in length, in preference to making a line for the entire di stance from Kilkenny to D u bli n o f seven ty-three and a half miles. It is true that the line to Kilkenny, by the Valley of the Barrow, hc., is five and a half miles shorter than that recom mended by us, but taking into consideration the great expense of a line of seventy-three and a half miles for the sole object of connecting Kilkenny with Dublin, we are of op ini on that thi s line is decidedly objectionable. Besides, this ra ilway would interfere in some degree with the Barrow navigation, though, perhaps, not materially, as there is no passenger traffic on the latter, and it is probable that heavy goods will at all times be carried cheaper by water than by railway. At the same time we are fully alive to the importance of a direct railway communication through the rich and populous valley of the Barrow, which contains the towns of Athy, Ca r _ low, Bagnalstown, and Leighlinbridge, and which would greatly facilitate the intercourse between the city of Dublin and the south-eastern portion of the county of Wexford, in cluding the towns of Wexford, Enniscorthy, and Ross. The present post-road from Dublin to Enniscorthy and Wexford, passes through the town of Tullow, situated but eight miles to the east of Carlow ; consequently, all passengers could, without difficulty, join the railway at Carlow, and by these means reach Dublin two hours sooner than by the present road, and at a much cheaper rate; the passengers from Ross, by joining the railway at Leighlinbridge, would save upwards of four hours, making the journey in eight instead of twelve hours. Under these circumstances, though we consider the Kilkenny line highly objectionable, as the main trunk to the south and south-west of Ireland, and also as a distinct line from Dublin to Kilkenny, we think, that it might be desirable to connect it as a branch, with the main southern line recom mended by us, at some point in the neighbourhood of the town of Kildare. Should this plan be finally adopted, a change might be made in our main line between Sallins and Mary borough, so as to pass a little to the northward of the town of Kildare ; from whence the country is favourable for the con struction of a railway to or near to the town of Athy, where it would join the Kilkenny line, as at present laid out. By this arrangement the railway distance from Dublin to Kilkenny would be about seventy-six miles, or two and a half miles longer than the original line ; but the length of the branch from Kildare would be but forty-five and a half miles, instead of a line of seventy-three and a half miles. This view is thrown out for consideration. The Kilkenny Railway Company having already obtained an Act of. Parlia ment for their line, may determine to persevere and complete it for the whole distance from Dublin to Kilkenny. Should they do so, we are of opinion that the main southern line from Dublin, recommended by us, possesses so many important local advantages over the Kilkenny line, that we should strongly recommend its adoption, notwithstanding the loss which must ensue from their running parallel to each other for the first eighteen miles from Dublin ; a loss which would he very injurious to the main southern, and absolutely ruin ous to the Kilkenny line. We have no hesitation in saying, that any proposal to prolong the latter, i n or d er to su b st i tute it for a main trunk line to the south-west, is inconsistent with the general interests of the country, and di rect l y oppose d to those of several extensive and most important districts. For reasons already given we deem it highly inexpedient that the main trunk line into Dublin should be placed under the controul of any Company whose pecuniary interests might clash with those of the public, or with those of any other Companies who might make branches connected with it. The concluding opinion is one in the soundness of which we entirely concur. No monopoly could pos sibly operate more injuriously upon the commercial in terests of Ireland than a monopoly of road, and we trust that every means will be adopted, consistently with a proper regard to existing interests, to prevent as far as possible the establishment of any. " There can be no doubt," as the Commissioners state in ano ther part of the Report, " that parties will be found ready to undertake certain portions of these lines, which hold out special prospects of advantage ; such, for example, as the first twenty or thirty miles leading out of Dublin, over which all the traffic with other places, near as well as remote, must necessarily pass. But since, according to our calculations, the return of profit on the whole system could not be expected, for some time, to excoed 31. or 4 per cent., it is manifest, that if the best and most productive portions are taken possession of un conditionally, there can be no reasonable hope that the remainder will ever be carried into effect. I t would be more advisable that no partial line should be sanctioned until the country should possess within itself the means of undertaking the whole system, to its full extent, than at once and for ever to obstruct and paralyze all future exertions for its accomplishment, by abandoning to parties, having particular and distinct interests, the monopoly of some of its most productive detached portions." Such opinions as these do honour to the political sagacity of the Commissioners, and had they been delivered in time enough for the guidance of Parlia mentary Committees upon English railways they would have had the effect of saving this country some mil lions of useless expenditure, and placed our public roads under a greatly improved system of popular control. But, having obtained an Act of Parliament, the Dublin and Kilkenny Railway Directors already begin to cry out for compensation ! It is rather early yet to estimate their losses ; but, should the Government be persuaded to take their claims into consideration, we beg to recommend to the especial notice of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER the following pithy statement upon the subject, which we copy from the Chronicle of this morning : irjust read the remarks of your City Correspon denSto;i have the Irish Railway Commission, and am induced to make a few observations on the Dublin and Kilkenny Rail way, which I hope you will insert in justice to the unfortunate subscribers. Now, Sir, the number of shares in the Dublin and Kil kenny Railway is eight thousand, and out of this number 6.300 shares remain unregistered, and the holders preferbmpg the amount a l rea dy p a id, viz., 21 . 10s. per share, to risking further capital ; and these shares are to be bought at ten shil lings per share in the Stock Exchange. And, moreover, every one of the or i g i na l su b scr ib ers w h o h as s i gn ed the Parliamen tary contract has received a lawyer's letter, threatening legal proceedings unless the call is paid. These facts are sufficient to show that the opinion of the public is much against the Railway being a remunerating one, and that the Directors are obliged to raise the capital by coercive measures. C. D And now that a cr y f rom cer t a i n parties in Ireland is beginning to be echoed by the Tory Press here against the Report of the Railway Commissioners, we shall not be backward in the expression of our opinions, both as regards the intrinsic merits of that document, and the value of the evidence produced by its assailants. The following notice was posted at the Bank to day : The Governor and Company of the Bank of England, do hereby give notice that, on and after the 6th instant, they will be ready to receive the applications for loans, upon deposit of approved Bills of Exchange, not having more than six months to run, such loans to be repaid on or before the 19th October next, with interest at the rate of 3i per cent., to be for loans of not less than 2,0001. each. Bank of England, Sept. 6. Brussels and German Journals of the latest dates have reached us this morning. Subjoined are extracts from them : BRUSSELS, SEPT. 3.—The storm cn the 29th of August did great dalnage in West Flanders, and in part of the province of Antwerp. Count Velain XIV. arrived the day before yesterday at Brussels, from Constantinople with the treaty of commerce concluded between the Ottoman Porte and Belgium, by our Ambassador, Mr. O'Sullivan De Grass. Count Henri de Merode having been made a Knight Com mander of the Order of Leopold, and thereby vacated his seat as Senator, an election to fill up the vacancy took place this morning. The number of voters was 265. M. de Me rode was elected by a majority of 240. 24,500 tickets were delivered yesterday at the stations of the iron railroad at Brussels and Malines. Yesterday, at noon, the steam-boat towed into port off Ostend, the Russian ship Nestor, of Beorborg, of about 300 tons burden, which two fishermen had found at sea, on the night of the 31st August, same miles from the coast of Blackenberg. There was nobody on board, and no papers were found. The ship is in ballast, two masts are broken, and the mizen-mast is cut away ; the anchors, chains, and cables are in good condi• tion, and the ship does not seem to have suffered much. It was met with at sea on the 29th August, by the pilot-boat of Flushing, which took the long-boat on board,whence it is feared that the crew had perished. The captain of the pilot-boat gave notice to the fishermen of Blankenberg, who immediately went in search of the ship, and found it on the Ist, in the morning, but they were too late, for two boats from Ostend had already taken possession of it. This ship was probably exposed to the storm of August 28. FRONTIERS OF BOHESIIA, AUG. 23.—Marshal Marmont is Still at Dresden, from which city he daily makes excursions on foot to the Saxon and Bohemian mountains. From the notes which he is seen to enter in his pocket-book, and from many expressions which he has let fall, it seems certain that we may expect a continuation of his memoirs. When at Vi enna he visited the Marehfelds and the environs of Linz and Ens ; a few days ago he was at the place near Dresden where Moreau was killed, and as he intends to go to Leipsig, where he distinguished himself in the great battle in 1813, it may be expected that the sequel of his memoirs will be more interest ing and important than his " Reminiscences of the East."

The Paris Journals of Tuesday contain no po'itical news of the slightest importance. What little intelli gence of a general character can be gleaned from them will be found in the following extracts The following are the contents of a letter from Munich of the 26th of August : " Prince Polignac arrived here this morning from Augs burg, where he has spent some time with his son. He in tends shortly to go to Verona, where he will pass the winter, his health being too delicate to bear our climate. This arrival was expected by several of his countrymen, among whom are the Marquis d'Ormond, Count de Custine, the Count de la Rochefourchen, the Ex-Minister (Count de Guernon Ran ville), who has announced himself as a private gentleman of Normandy. The arrival of these gentlemen will be followed, it is said, by that of the Duke of Ragusa, and of Count de Ferronays, who will pass some days at Munich. Persons who are well-informed affirm that the motive of the presence of these gentlemen is a project for the marriage of a member of the elder branch of the house of Bourbon with an august Princess." It is generally asserted that Duke Maximilian of Leuchten berg, will enter the service of Russia, for two years, with the rank of Major-General. Sir George Villiers ' the English Ambassador to the Span ish Government, who has obtained leave of absence, and left Paris a month ago, is going to return to his post. The Whig Cabinet alarmed at the critical situation of Spain, has judged it necessary that its Envoy should be at Madrid. The Attorney-General in the Royal Tribunal of Douay, has appealed to the Court of Cassation against the division which reversed the sentence passed in the first instance against the Liberal.—Le Commerce. A report has been circulated this morning that the Minister of War was attacked by a serious indisposition yesterday, which compels him to abandon his functions for the present. Count Mole having consulted with M. Rosamel, and the Mi nister of Finances, will be charged with the portfolio in the interim. A courier fias carried this news to Eu, with a draft of the ordonnance, which confers this interim on the President of the Council. The Commerce gives a letter of the 19th ult. from St. Petersburgh, stating that the Emperor of Russia has given orders for the formation of an army of 60,000 men and 120 pieces of cannon, to be stationed on the extreme frontier of Bessarabia, near Ismael, so that it may be ut the disposal of the Sultan, as well as the squadron commanded by Admiral Cumanets off Trebisond. We published a rumour of this kind in a letter from Constantinople a short time since, but we attach little or no weight either to the report or to this i s apparent confirmation. The letter quoted above further states that the Czar has directed a corps of observation of 20,000 men to be collected on the Araxes, which bounds Persia, and a corps de reserve of 30,000 men at Erivan. QUARANTINE.—The Board of Health at Marseilles has placed all vessels coming from Algiers under a quarantine of fifteen days, having learned that a Turkish brig from Alex andria had clandestinely landed a number of passengers on the coast about twelve leagues from Algiers, whence they had dispersed themselves through the country, and some of them had entered the town. A similar regulation exists at Genoa. SPANISH FINANCES, —We quote the following from the Journal de Paris :—" A grand meeting of the French and English capitalists is to be held shortly at Paris, at M. I . Jaffitte's, to take into consideration several important ques tions relating to the commercial interests of the Peninsula. The chief object of the assembly will be the turning to profit the colonial possessions which still belong to Spain. The Philippine Islands, hitherto so much neglected, will form the subject of a new India Company ; which being placed under a neutral flag, will be free from all the chances of war. The Charter which is being prepared will create new maritime rights in conformity with a. true spirit of justice. Article 23 of the Navigation Act, passed in the reign of George 111. can no longer be admitted; and, it will be recollected, that Sir Robert Peel, in the conferences on the formation of an Anglo- French Society for South America, in 1836, expressed his desire that this reform should be made." Mraneit FROM JEALOCSY.—A traveller for a mercantile house, named Barenne, about 60 years of age, who had lived in the Rue de la Verret ie for the last fifteen months, was assas sinated the night before last by his mistress, who is not more than 22 years of age. The crime is attributed to jealousy ; the young woman, who states that she is pregnant by her vic tim, having complained bitterly of the attentions paid by him to another female. In order to divert suspicion from herself, the murderess, who remained with her paramour during the whole of Sunday night, was the first to divulge the crime to the neighbours next morning, by her cries of help, murder, &c. The house was im me di a t e ly surroun ded by some muni cipal guards and soldiers of the line ; and the Commissary of Police for the quarter, who had been summoned to the spot, interrogated the female in the presence of the corpse. On her person was found the sum of 150 f., and her answers to the questions addressed to her having excited suspicion, she was taken into custody and transferred to the Prefecture of Police. Between the 25th ult. and tha Ist inst. 22 packets entered Boulogne with 1,504 passengers, and 24, with 1,383 passen gers, sailed. The number of animals by which the menagerie of the Gar den of Plants has been enriched by the Prince of Joinville amounts to 22—viz., two chacmas (simia porcaria of Lin naeus) ; a bear from the American Cordilleras ; a brown coati, from Rio Janeiro ; a young lion from Senegal, so tame that he is taken out in the gardens for exercise when the public are absent ; a female jaguar, from Cayenne ; a marguay (the fells tigrina); a beautiful speckled . cat, from Brazil ; eight accouchis (cavia achui of Linnaeus) ; a grimm, or beautiful antelope, from the coast of Africa ; a rose ibis (tantalus roseus) with a long beak, but resembling in colour the Egyptian ibis; a boco, with the red caruncle ; four land tortoises, one the testudo tabulata, and the three others of the species testudo carbonaria, His Royal Highness had procured several other rare animals, but they unfortunately died on the voyage home. H e succeeded in bringing several varieties of the palm-tree, but was unable to transport the great baobab, which he bad ob tained, but it would not bear the passage. There is at present at the Clinical Hospital of the Ecole de Medicine a woman who has been 22 months enceinte. The Caesarean operation has been contemplated, but cannot be ventured upon, in consequence of the child having become too closely enveloped in the ligaments. A WELL-INSTRUCTED PARROT.—The proprietor of a cafe in the Rue Chabannais has a parrot, which, from his con versational powers, has long formed a great attraction to his establishment. Two afternoons since, while the cafe was deserted for the more substantial enjoyment of the restaurants, a rogue made an attempt to carry off the bird, and, by throwing a cloth over the cage, succeeded in getting the captive to a certain distance. A neighbour, how ever, had seen him, and cried out after him, " Au voleur I" upon which Poll, recovering from h er surpr i se, b egan to scream out also, with all her might, " Au voleur / Au voleur I" 6 ' Stop thief I Stop thief !" This unexpected out cry so a stounded the robber, that h e h ast il y d ropped his prey, and was making off by the Rue Richelieu, when he was ob served by the sentinel at the guardhouse of the Biblioteque du Roi, and taken into custody. At the same moment one of the waiters came up, and claimed poor Poll. The rogue was taken before the Commissary of Police, and committed to answer for the theft. The poet Beranger is now residing in a small house in the Rue Chanionon, at Tours, where he sees very little company, and passes his hours partly in exercise, but chiefly in study. A small but excellent bust is said to have been taken of him b y M. Dantan, jun. There has just arrived at Nantes from South America, for the menagerie at the Garden of Plants, a tapir, sent by the French Vice-Consul at Brazil. It is eight months old, and weighs nearly 2001bs. ; but, if it can support the climate, it m ay attain the weight of 6001bs. It is remarkably tame. M. Troussard, a notary at Laval, in the Mayenne, was last week killed by a pistol-shot, in his office, fired by a man to whom M. Troussard refused to pay over a sum of money, arising from a sale by decree, without the express order of the Court. _ _ FRENCH FUNDS.—PARIS, SEPTEMBER 4. Five per Cents., llif. 20c. SOc. 45c.

The ship Brilliant has brought accounts from Jamaica of the 15th July, 'acing fifteen days before the emancipation of the apprenticed labourers was to take place. Contrary to the expectations of the abolitionists, an unquiet and restless feel. ing had begun to show itself among the apprentices, many of whom are stated to to have deserted the estates on which they had been employed, and to have wandered in different parts of the country. We have received the Journal of Commerce of Antwerp of yesterday's date, in which there are accounts from Brussels, stating that interesting news had been received there from London, which caused a Council of Ministers to assemble.

As a mason of the name of John Arnett was on Friday last employed at a house in Clive-street, North Shields, he accidentally fell from the fourth story into the cellar, and was to all appearances dead.

BALLOON ASCENTS.—These perilous exhibitions are now becoming common in all parts of the country. Among others, a Mr. Hampton, who, it may be remembered, nar rowly escaped with his life in an affair of the kind in Lon don, has been ascending at Canterbury, where, last Thursday, he had another very narrow escape from destruction, the balloon being dragged about two miles on the ground.— Evening Paper. STATE OF TRADE.—There has been no change in our market for several days past. The demand for yarn con tinues languid, and the prices are consequently depressed ; but there is a good demand for almost all kinds of piece goods, at steady and remunerating rates.—Manchester Guardian. Adalbert Von Chamisso, one of the most popular modern poets of Germany, died some days ago at Berlin.
